About Dana Caple

Greg and I live on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. We have an air taxi, flight instruction company called FLY! He is a commercial pilot/instructor. I used to be a business owner for 20 years (alternative health), and am now an artist, entrepreneur (still) and enjoy yoga, family, volunteer work and life in general!
Greg and I are in love with our 2nd home in St Jean de Luz! You will find us there from Dec 1 to Apr 1 - 4 very special months!

Dana Caple purchased this Apartment in 2004

Why Dana Caple chose Pyrénées-Atlantiques

We can walk everywhere! It is a magical, very safe haven, with 'eye candy' constantly in front of us! The architecture and history, the art galleries and the cafes - words don't describe St Jean de Luz! ...Ambiance!

What makes this Apartment unique

Every morning and evening, we walk the beach. This year (2011) it has been warm enough to just people watch while sitting on the beach. We walk to Hendaye or Biarritz (3 1/2 hours) regularly - actually, we walk everywhere! The spa is always available, and we use it often. Tues and Fri's are market days - fresh vegetables, eggs, and everything else! As we are here 4 months, we use St Jean de Luz as a stepping stone to visit Spain and other areas of Europe. We don't need a car as public transportation: train, bus and air are all so conveniently located. There are many art galleries (I love to paint), and window shopping is extraordinary, or just watching people in the streets is a sport in itself. St Jean is very animated!

That was an amazing holiday - thank you for providing such a luxurious yet cozy home! Having the beach and town right at our doorstep made everything so easy! We hiked to Spain, went swimming most days, ate in the best restaurants and - what can I say except please book us again for next year!! Thank you!

We loved your place! The beach was wonderful and literally at our doorstep. We had fresh croissants each morning; cooked some of our meals in the fully stocked kitchen, dined out, even hiked to Spain one day! The Basque Country is beautiful! We also appreciated the comfort of your apt..including wifi and free calling. We will certainly be back! Thank you for our dream vacation...truly! R Powell. Canada
